The Key-Note

By Madie E. Barnitz

By Madie E. Barnitz

As ALTER all the endless sounds, The single impulse free, Uninfluenced by what controls The leading harmony,

Until amid the mingled sounds, Is struck some leading tone, Whose touch restores the key, and holds The harmony alone;

So through the efforts which we make But for ourselves alone, 'Tis in some wider interest reached We first attain our own —

So through the effort after self, And that which we would be, Our lives but broken chords which find Their full intent in Thee.
